The second video in the tutorial series is my own personal recipe for painting bays, complete with application steps. Just in time for NaMoPaiMo 2019!

Color Recipes for the Video

Below are the color mixtures for each step that you'll need to premix and save in their own bottles for this tutorial. The percentages are approximate, so feel free to experiment with the mixtures as you become more confident with the process. Also experiment with how many coats you apply to your model, as there are many different shades of bay. Your brand of paint does not matter as much as purchasing the correct starting colors. As always, your other crucial tool for this project will be good photo reference of the type of horse you are trying to recreate. Good luck everyone and happy painting!
